Project Summary

This project stems from the interest of three organizations in Spain, Italy and Romania to explore jointly with other agents ways to make administrations friendly for the youth population, transformations that facilitate and enhance the approach of youth to these and, consequently, have a positive effect on the youth population of our communities.

With this in mind, we have set the following objectives:
– Identify the elements that produce and / or encourage the rejection and detachment of youth towards administrations;
– Analyze the options for change and improvement of the elements identified through a joint work of the youth and the technical and political staff of the administrations;
– Share experiences and propose exportable models on how to make youth-friendly administrations;
– Start a process of adaptation of administrations that facilitates the civic participation of youth and their effective citizenship.

To meet our objectives we will implement an analysis of reality followed by a learning activity to share and work together on exportable proposals to different contexts. With this, we will work to implement the proposed changes and analyze their results. Finally, we will draw conclusions and share the results of everything learned.

In this process, we will involve more than 500 young people (13 to 30 years old) from very diverse profiles of all our communities. We will also involve more than 60 people who work with young people and who play a very important role in cooperation processes with administrations. Of course, we will involve at least 9 public administrations where to implement the proposals.

The whole process and the actions that will be developed will be based on non-formal education, an active and participatory methodology that adapts to the concrete and real needs of the people, attractive and effective to achieve our objectives.

In the end, we hope to improve the relationship of youth with administrations so that there are greater interaction and cooperation, which will imply a greater impact on the youth population.
